Extend and Enrich with EconoMax

Last year EconoMax, edited by Liz Veal and with a super team of contributing authors provided fifty articles of terrific breadth and reach for AS and A2 students. Subscribers also get access to a full archive of articles from previous years. The features are ideal for handouts to prompt discussion or form the basis for an assignment or further reading and also as a supplement to student notes.
